"My grandfather used to tell me that people who have real wealth don't brag about it, and people who live their faith don't trumpet it. Their actions speak louder than their words. After the Charlie KIrk memorial, I wrote about how Bishop Mariann Budde's sermon at the National Cathedral prayer service after Trump's inauguration really reflected the true meaning of being a Christian."
""Christianity is more than just saying, 'God bless me,'" he told me. "It is more than just finding a scripture that you can quote. It's more than saying, you know, I follow the Ten Commandments. Christianity, to say one is a Christian, is to say one that I follow the example of Jesus Christ. So ultimately, Jesus Christ is the standard and the judgment of what it means to be Christian. And you can't escape that.""
A grandfather taught that faith is measured by deeds rather than words. Actions speak louder than declarations of belief. Bishop Mariann Budde's inaugural sermon was presented as an example of faith enacted through moral witness. A reader warned that claiming Christianity does not guarantee salvation without righteous action. Bishop William Barber has devoted his life to translating Christian teaching into public activism through Moral Mondays and the Poor People's Campaign. Barber asserts that Christianity requires following Jesus' example and criticizes leaders who use the faith to justify greed and policies that harm the poor.
